In the world where you are expected to perform always, it's kinda liberating when you intentionally let the performance miss you. It's a brave act to back-out at the last minute of the performance you put out in the show called Life. It's not only the social media that burnt us out even in reality, performance seems everywhere. However, letting yourself flow authentically the unfiltered,and flawed you and letting people scrutinize it without caring is a brave act. Vulnerability is the product of it, and we need that more than being always perfect in everyone's eyes.

This is so wonderful! As someone who just had an existential crisis all day yesterday about if it was okay to be so cringe for posting stuff that I found fun and that made me happy even if people talk about it this is soothing! I think I spent so many years of my life twisting myself into exactly who each person I was talking to wanted me to be! It was so tiring to always be re-evaluating myself based on their standards! But I agree I’d rather just exist and kinda say fuck it to the opinions! This piece made me smile :)
